Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Yes he is absolutely right just to add one more thing that Primavera 3.1 activity id consist of 10 char and left will take chr from the left 1st char and right will take char from the right 10th char interesting thing is that even if your activity not consist of 10 chars it will start couting from 10 digit
so if id is 123456 and you use right(act,5) it give you 6 only
thanks
